        "text": "Choosing a reliable contractor involves several key steps. First, ensure they are licensed and insured in California. Look for contractors with specific experience in the safety upgrades you need, such as seismic retrofitting or electrical work. Request references from previous clients and check online reviews. Obtain detailed written bids from multiple contractors, comparing not just price but also scope of work, timeline, and warranty information. A good contractor will communicate clearly and provide a transparent contract.",
